I say Frank, ole boy, does Claire
know about Helen at G. S. C. W.?
Oh! tell her about the night the
car ran into a ditch. Cozy, wasn’t
It.
'Tis bad about Joyce Jones. It
seems that Cassanova Dan McCrae
has taken to the charms of lovable
(?) Helen Leach. Keep fighting,
Joyce, this is just round one.
Well, well, Onion Head Wilkerson
has at last captured a heart-throb,
namely Jac Dozier. Or is it vice
versa? But what about the red-head
Wesley?
The picture that did occupy the
extreme end of Mac Griffith’s man
tle was none other than that fugi

Johnson. Why did you return it,
Mac?
Mrs. Abbott’s Prayer: PLEASE,
someone open the door of the juke
box a *ci U.chard out.
Doc Gray has learned to whistle,
boys. It just took one Margaret
Lyle to teach him, too. Pucker up,
boys.
O. K.! All you boys can settle
down now. Billie Hillman is a mar
ried woman now. Yes, it occurred
February 7, in Conyers, gentlemen.
Jean Jolly must be trying to save
postage on her letters. That is the
ones she sends to a Mr. Adams at
Middle Georgia. Jolly, you should
send them by mail, not half as
many people read them.
Penny, you brute! Shame on you
for sticking poor little Nettie Ful
ler in the arm with pins. And just
because she said a bad word.
“J’aime vous beaucoup,” Jack Pin
son. At least that is what Charlotte
Walker says in her letters. Tell
Jackie about her, Pinson, my lad.
Our congrats to the King and
Queen of Hearts. It was a good
choice.
If you want to see Tom Hearn’s
face light up, just say you are go

gets a large charge out of it, too.
Cook, did you see Seaton? He was
holding Nell Clark’s hand on the
front campus.
That Buchanan beauty Sara Ruth
Waters has at least gotten herself
a man. Watch it, Paris, her heart
throb is a fellow by the name of
Bill West. He’s in the Waves now.
Whitehurst is on the trail of Pat
Morgan now-a-day. Better exchange
secrets, you love-birds.
Oh! “Dinky,” how you slay the
girls. How do you manage to get a
new one every week? Maybe its
your weak mind and short hair.
Good comparison.
Doris Cannon seems to be getting
her mail and males mixed up lately.
A chap by the name of Murphy is
behind it all too. I wonder if they

Oh! Whaf a lovely monument

Week End
“Did you have a nice week-end?”
“Oh wonderful! May I tell you
about it? Well, you had last period
class with me; I don’t have to go in
to that. My sincere hope is that Mr.
Oliver remembers Fridays and ar
ranges his exams accordingly.
It all starts with a mad dash to
my room and last minute things
thrown together. What time is it?
It has been fully thirty minutes
since I called that taxi. Why doesn’t
he come on? What! Only 3:17. Here
he is at last and after endless hours
we arrive at the bus station. Sure
ly all these people are waiting for
some other bus—not the north
bound one. Where is that bus, any
way? It was supposed to have been
here hours ago. And I just could
make connections in the first place.
Here it comes! Heavens! I’ve never
seen so many people! Ouch! fellow,
that foot belongs to me. Guess the
girl in front of me doesn’t mind if
my lip prints are all over the back
of her new spring coat.
Somehow, I edge through a few
more notches, with the exception of
the end of the arm that is tightly
grasping my bag. Sir, please, just a
few inches; my arm is breaking. I
guess he doesn’t mind.
Alas! Just as I make it to the
door, “Sorry folks, all she’ll take.
Another bus will be along in a few
minutes.” Exhausted, I settle down
for a nice long wait; and then, the
same thing all over again. This
time I make it to the inside. Won’t
it be wonderful, just simply won
derful, to rest my weary bones?
And I turn around to drop in the
one vacant seat. Wonderful things
do happen; no one struck a match
in the next thirty minutes.
Taking turns —for instance; left
foot, five minutes, right foot, five
minutes; I finally reach my desti
nation. And now, all of my troubles
are over. Daddy will be here; a nice
warm, ten mile ride and I’ll be
home. What? Daddy not around?
But he wouldn’t do a thing like
this; he just wouldn’t. He’s uptown;
probably has forgotten the time.
I’ll slip up on him and surprise
him. After calm diliberation, I de
cided I wouldn’t put my bag in the
locker (my change purse contained
exactly one nickle and four pen
nies). I can’t leave it sitting here,
THE WEST GEORGIAN
so I go trudging up the street. No,
Lady, I’m not deformed.
One hour passes—why didn’t I
wear a heavier coat? Two hours —
how did that lead get in my bag?
Three hours —“No Miss, I haven’t
seen you Dad in town. I’m going
just a little piece from your place
—just three miles, in fact. If you’d
care to crawl you’re morn’n wel
come.” And so, we set off for the
last mile of the journey (except
three, which I am very conscious
of).
Will my feet ever thaw out? I
alight and find to my intense joy
that I can walk. If they just don’t
get any colder. I don’t believe the
wind ever blew so hard before. I
hope it is just my imagination that
makes me feel I’m going back
wards. One mile —and a half
two —will I ever make it? It’s no
trouble to hold my grasp on the
handle of my bag. No trouble at all.
You see, the fingers are frozen
there.
No, not that! Anything but that.
Anybody should have more sense
than turn over an ankle and break
a shoe strap—to say nothing of
the ankle. If only I can scrooch my
toes tight enough to hold it on. I
don’t want to share the fame of
George Washington’s army.
At last, I approach the last
curve. Isn’t : t wonderful, just simp
v vcndcr-u- to be home again?
here’s Daddy? Not here? No, a
car didn’t drive up. I walked in.
So, Daddy was late getting start
ed, the car froze up. I took the
short cut walking in so he missed
me. After four or five hours, he
walks in with a “How did you get
here? No one saw you leave town.”
Let’s laugh it off, Daddy, we’re
even now.
The trip back was the same, very
nice indeed.
FOODS CLASS GOES
TO MARKET
The Foods Class of the Home Eco
nomics Department recently has
been learning by observation as
well as by lectures. The class is a
small one, consisting of only ten
sophomore girls, and they have
visited Oak Lawn Dairy, Bonner’s
Meat Market, and the Freezer Lock
er Plant.
Their first expedition was to the
dairy. It is not a dairy as we usu
ally think of one, but rather a re
ceiving station where milk from
throughout the county is delivered.
The girls saw the processes the
milk goes through from the time
it is received until it is sold to the
customer. The testing, pasteuriza
tion, bottling, and storing were ex
plained and shown to the class.
Chocolate milk is made at the plant
and it was observed and sampled
by the girls. Also, they were given
some “cultured” buttermilk.
After a thorough study of meat
cookery in class Miss Jenkins took
her students to a butcher shop in
town and to the new freezer-locker
plant. At the butcher’s they watch
ed a quarter of beef being cut up.
They saw the various cuts and the
part of the beef that each was tak
en from. Two of the girls then
selected a piece of sirloin steak
which the class bought to broil.
The freezer-locker plant is rela
tively new to Carrollton and few
people know of its extensive ser
vices. The Foods Class was taken
there and they saw the entire
plant. They went into the locker
rooms, which are kept at a tem
perature of O degrees Fahrenheit.
Weiners were being made, observa
tion of which was anew experience
for teacher as well as students. The
guide showed them the large quan
tity of meat of all kinds and ex
plained that it was killed, cured,
and sold there. The class watched
a hog being killed and dressed at
the plant. As they left all, includ
ing Miss Jenkins, felt they had
learned something new and worth
while.

courts will be smooth and an ex
citing tennis season is expected this
spring.
